Synthesis of New Spiropyrans With a Polyaromatic or Heteroaromatic Pendant and Their Photochromic Bedhaviors

A series of spiropyrans with a polyaromatic or heteroaromatic pendant was synthesized conveniently.Their photochromic behaviors were investigated with the aid of absorption spectral measurements.The results indicated that the compounds with the same parent spiropyran but different aromatic pendant show significantly different photochromic properties.This may be due to the π-π orbital interaction between the polyaromatic pendant and the open photomerocyanine form of spiropyran.The results obtained are very useful in the molecule design area.     

Diaquabis(2,5‐dihydroxybenzoato‐κO)bis(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)strontium(II) bis(1,10‐phenanthroline) tetrahydrate

The title compound, [Sr(C₇H₅O₄)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)₂]·2C₁₂H₈N₂·4H₂O, consists of an Sr^II complex, uncoordinated phenanthroline (phen) molecules and solvent water molecules. The Sr^II ion is located on a twofold axis and is coordinated by two phen ligands, two dihydroxybenzoate anions and two water molecules in a distorted tetragonal antiprismatic geometry. Partially overlapped arrangements exist between parallel coordinated and parallel uncoordinated phen rings; the face‐to‐face separations between the former (coordinated) and the latter (uncoordinated) rings are 3.436 (13) and 3.550 (14) Å, respectively. This difference suggests the effect of metal coordination on π–π stacking between phen rings.

The effect of methyl group on the mechanical properties of hydrophobic association hydrogel

Hydrophobic association hydrogels were fabricated via micellar copolymerization of acrylamide and hydrophobic monomers lauryl (meth)acrylate (LA or LMA) in an aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The effect of methyl groups of hydrophobic monomers on the crosslinking network structure and mechanical behavior of the gels was investigated on the basis of rubber elastic theory. It was found that the LMA-gel exhibited higher effective crosslink density and elastic modulus. The methyl groups of hydrophobic monomers limited the flexibility of the methacrylate backbone in the association domain, which resulted in the increment of chains constraints. With the increase of stretch rate, the dissipated energy of LMA-gel increased more highly than that of LA-gel. In addition, the methyl group hindered the movement of polymer chains, leading to the lower recovery efficiency of dissipated energy for LMA-gel. In contract, the LA-gel exhibited a rapid response to external force, and possessed better elasticity and self-recovery property. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

Simulation of Three-Spin Interaction in Coupled Cavities Chain

We generalize usual second-order effective Hamiltonian approximation into third-order. Employing the generalized method, we propose a scheme to generate three-spin interaction using coupled cavity chain. We show that the third order term not only improves two parties interaction but also induces direct three-spin interaction which has not been simulated before. By controlling the frequency of laser field, one can obtain next nearest neighbor interaction on the same order with the nearest neighbor’s or the three-spin interaction on the same order as next nearest neighbor’s.     

镝掺杂LaPO4拉曼光谱变化规律的探讨

采用水热法和后续热处理合成出单斜相LaPO4以及LaPO4:Dy3+,通过XRD对样品进行物相分析,结果表明:所得样品为LaPO4,且XRD图谱及拉曼光谱中峰位的偏移表明Dy的存在,即Dy被掺杂到LaPO4基质中。通过研究用Dy对LaPO4进行不同量掺杂后其拉曼光谱的变化规律,进而找出用Dy对LaPO4进行不同量掺杂后其内部结构的变化规律。结果显示,用Dy对LaPO4进行不同量掺杂后,随着掺杂比例的增大,晶格畸变程度先上升后下降,且在镧镝物质的量比例为1∶0.06时对基体晶格结构影响最大。     

Determination of nifedipine in dog plasma by high‐performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection

Nifedipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker used widely in the management of hypertension and other cardiovascular disorders. In this work, a simple, rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated to determine nifedipine in dog plasma using nimodipine as the internal standard. Chromatographic separation was carried out on a C₈ column. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of acetonitrile, water and formic acid (60:40:0.2, v/v/v) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. Detection was performed on a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer in selected reaction monitoring mode via an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization source. The method has a lower limit of quantification of 0.20 ng/mL with consumption of plasma as low as 0.05 mL. The linear calibration curves were obtained in the concentration range of 0.20–50.0 ng/mL (r = 0.9948). The recoveries of the liquid extraction method were 74.5–84.1%. Intra‐day and inter‐day precisions were 4.1–8.8 and 6.7–7.4%, respectively. The quantification was not interfered with by other plasma components and the method was applied to determine nifedipine in plasma after a single oral administration of two controlled‐release nifedipine tablets to beagle dogs.

Multi-Step Continuous-Flow Organic Synthesis: Opportunities and Challenges

Continuous-flow multi-step synthesis takes the advantages of microchannel flow chemistry and may transform the conventional multi-step organic synthesis by using integrated synthetic systems. To realize the goal, however, innovative chemical methods and techniques are urgently required to meet the significant remaining challenges. In the past few years, by using green reactions, telescoped chemical design, and/or novel in-line separation techniques, major and rapid advancement has been made in this direction. This minireview summarizes the most recent reports (2017–2020) on continuous-flow synthesis of functional molecules. Notably, several complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) have been prepared by the continuous-flow approach. Key technologies to the successes and remaining challenges are discussed. These results exemplified the feasibility of using modern continuous-flow chemistry for complex synthetic targets, and bode well for the future development of integrated, automated artificial synthetic systems.
